Nabisco bacon crackers. They were my favorite snack as a kid. They were discontinued about ten year ago, but with bacon making such a "comeback" lately, it would actually make sense for them to bring them back.

@lichme: There are some Tim Horton's (very few but some) in the US (I'm assuming you moved to the US?)...also there are Lays Ketchup chips sold in the US (oh wait, I'm thinking of heinz ketchup chips...)

@jesseroo: Everybody always gets them confused with Heinz, which are nothing in comparison. The closest I have ever found a Timmies was in Michigan, which may as well be part of Canada as far as drive time. I never did understand why it has not branched out into more of the US.

I miss them being in pretty much every dollar store or even some supermarkets. I miss them being called "cigarettes". But most of all, I miss being able to get them for like $0.20 a pack without having to buy some huge bulk pack of them off of Amazon.

@lichme: I prefer the Old Dutch Ketchup chips but only from Canada
There are a lot of chocolate bars that I can't get here that are only found in Canada like Coffee Crisp, Mr Big, O'Henry, Smarties but when I have family come visit I make them bring something

@eeekdageek: I love all of the above. In case anybody is wondering : In the US, smarties are what I call "Rockets" in Canada, and Smarties in Canada are similar to M&M's but have a harder shell. Coffee Crisp is my favorite Chocolate bar.

@jesseroo: Wow, I had no idea they were discontinued. Little greasy cheese-like balls of flavor. My pediatrician kept a can of these in his office for kids after a check-up. Needless to say, I was one of the few kids that loved going to the doctor's office.

My friend told me that Planters had to legally call it "Cheez Balls" because there was no actual cheese in the product. Looking back on it, I would not be surprised.

As for the OP, I miss the old Choco Taco they served at Taco Bells. It was the only item on the menu that didn't put on airs of being "Authentic Mexican" food; it knew exactly what it was, a delicious smorgasbord of sweet goodness.

Kinder Eggs are the best. I had quite the colection of toys from them when I was a kid, before Big Brother gave them the boot. They arn't technically discontinued but you can't buy them in the U.S. anymore. Your tax dollars protecting you from yourself.

@purplefeather: My friend still has an unopened bottle of Crystal Pepsi, although it has turned kind of amber now. Here's a funny quote about Crystal Pepsi from wikipedia:

Yum! Brands Chairman David C. Novak is credited with introducing the Crystal Pepsi concept. In a December 2007 interview,[10] he stated:

It was a tremendous learning experience. I still think it's the best idea I ever had, and the worst executed. A lot of times as a leader you think, "They don't get it; they don't see my vision." People were saying we should stop and address some issues along the way, and they were right. It would have been nice if I'd made sure the product tasted good. Once you have a great idea and you blow it, you don't get a chance to resurrect it.

I miss Jolt Cola. I know you can still find it here and there, but it is crazy to ship it to the house. I fondly remember driving across the border to Hardeeville, SC, as a teen, because it was no where to be found in Savannah. Oh the times when I lived on Marlboro lights, Snickers bars and Jolt Cola.
I also miss the original BB Bats.

Curly Wurlys! Cadbury made them and I believe they still do, but they aren't generally available in the US except at some few specialty shops. I stumbled on a place near Houston that specialized in hard-to-find and old timey items like this and nearly broke the bank buying Curly Wurlys and other such things!

@lavikinga: Bonomo Turkish Taffy--Ahh, memories. Breaking the bar up into pieces was so much fun. I used to slam it down onto the dining room table and make my Mom jump. I think there are some places that sell this online.

I would love to find the "banana" Fudgesicles. And speaking of Fudgesicles, I wish they would go back to the original recipe. Oh, well.

@earlyre: I'm in Iowa. I know a few people who work there, and I get their actual packets of ground coffee when I go there to bring home (the same stuff that they sell by the cup, which I think is different than the at home stuff they sell)

@lichme Yay a fellow Canadian! I too miss lays ketchup chips as well as all dressed ruffles! I also try and bring back chips and chocolate if I visit or if anyone comes to visit me! However, I have been able to find crunchie bars on amazon! I did find some smarties on a trip in Austin it was quite exciting!

Oboysie (sp) potato chips. can't remember how they're spelled to save my live the but jingle was "oboysies are o boisterous". they were good. also, tater skin chips. not the TGIFriday ones, but the original

@omnichad: coke blak was gross. Coffee and coke do not go well together imo. I still have an unopened bOttle in my room.@bobmctooth: i wish they still sold those crispy m&m's! I remember telling my friends about them years ago and no one knew they existed! Which made me sad, cuz they were the best m&ms ive ever had

@curtisuxor: yep discontinued...I only found out when one day I had a craving and didn't know what the taste I was looking for was...then it hit me it was Planter's cheese balls. Look them up because I know I hadn't seen them in a while, only to find them no longer being made. I don't think I've found any cheese balls that compare.

@lichme: At one point I heard they were supposed to be adding more stores, and I really hope that's true...maybe you should start a petition to get one where you are :P

@cornellbigred: M&M crisps were good except for that one gross one that was always in the bag...

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
